Cozy Fall Decorating Ideas
Tomorrow the start of a new season is upon us. What better way to welcome fall
than to warm up our homes for the weeks ahead. It's the Seasonal Simplicity
Fall Home Tour week and today I get to invite you in and share my cozy fall
decorating ideas. If you've landed here from
Inspiration For Moms, welcome! I've got a few spaces to show you.
I don't go overboard with my fall decorating but I do like adding in layers
and a few seasonal touches. Let's start at the front entry. The
federal mirror and the
basket with masks are a constant here, but I've added in a pitcher with lovely
flowers.
My
cutting garden
continues to thrive. It's currently bursting with the last blooms of the
season - some dahlias, ageratum, poppies, and zinnias. The colours are so
pretty. I love seeing these flowers when I walk through the front door.
There's more plants in the living room. This front window is one of the few
spots that gets sunlight throughout the year so I've gathered all my plant
babies in this spot.
My
faux palm tree fills up one corner and is balanced by the buffalo plaid chair in the
opposite corner. I've switched out my textiles for heavier fabrics and darker
tones. The brown gold velvet pillow on the chair picks up the tones in the
artwork. Those deeper earthy colours work well for an autumn scheme.
I've placed another floral arrangement on the coffee table. This tray holds a
few cozy accents like a candle, gourds, and a fabric pumpkin. This
brown glass hurricane
is new and substantial. I've placed a battery operated candle inside, to add a
bit of ambience on quiet evenings.
You can see the brown tones repeated on the mantel and on the shelving. The
vintage fall mantel decor
gives this room a lived-in, gathered look. Fall always feels like that...
slow, familiar, and quiet.
I decorate the bookcases a bit more sparsely at this time of year with just
a few accessories in a warmer colour scheme. I removed the
toile wallpaper
from the backing, to make the room feel subdued and calm. The
free Audubon prints
bring lightness and a natural accent.
Just a few simple changes are needed to make this room feel cozier. I've added
a faux fern to Sean's bedside table. No matter the time of year, greenery
feels right.
Time to bring out the warmer bedding! I've switched our thinner quilt for a
thicker duvet. My one bedding trick: use a larger duvet insert to make your
duvet look full. Our king insert makes this queen size cover look loftier and
not so skimpy.
What colours are you constantly drawn to? The brown, blue, and grey colour
scheme is one I always find appealing. I'm also a fan of patterns. The plaid
curtains act as a lively neutral. They're balanced by the florals in the
pillows and the more delicate pattern of the rug.
Here's more pattern. A pinstripe bench and equestrian paint-by-number style
pillow are a lively combination. I'm a fan of stripes in any form and this
new striped bag strap
on my
crossbody bag
is a new favourite.
Can you see the houndstooth pattern peeking out from the back of the pillow?
Classic menswear patterns are lovely for fall.
The last stop on our fall tour is
my home office. Not too much has changed here but I've added a few things to make working
in here more comfortable and enjoyable.
A pillow and throws are a must. I need to be warm and cozy when I'm working
and these throws will come in handy. One pretty addition is the vase with
poppies from my garden. I love how they pick up on the red stripe of the
throw.
Speaking of gardens, it's time to start planning next years! I've already
picked out some seeds and will try my hand growing them indoors in early
spring. But let's not look too far ahead. Fall brings so many lovely things
to enjoy.
I hope you've enjoyed this look at my home. Now head over to
Grace In My Space
for the next stop on the tour.
